5. (OPTIONAL Merge it down with the base layer.)

6. CREATE NEW LAYER CLIP. (I use a DIFFERENT Airbrush tool (my own settings) to colour the hair) Use the Airbrush2 Tool to shade the strands of hair. from the top of the roots - down and from the tips of the hair - up. Try not to colour on the LINES, it will make your drawing look more flat.
* Remember darker areas will be shaded more

Ps. You can check out my Airbrush+Eraser Settings in the tutorial (You just gotta look hard and search for it!)
